Kilimanjaro Backpack and Work — Teen Trip

Backpacking in beautiful Tanzania, Africa, will challenge you to trust the Lord with every step, as you trek from the valley to the mountainside of MountKilimanjaro, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. After training at the Lord’s Boot Camp, you bus to the OrlandoInternationalAirport for a flight to KilimanjaroInternationalAirport, via WashingtonD.C. and AddisAbaba, Ethiopia. The team will then bus to the Teen Missions in Tanzania property located at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. Make a difference for future missionaries by continuing construction on the first buildings at this base. After your project time, you will backpack to remote villages on the mountainside of Africa’s tallest peak (over 19,000 feet tall)! and share the Gospel using drama, puppets, and showing Christian films to some who may have never heard the name of Jesus before. Housing will be in tents; bathing and laundry will be done using a bucket. Shopping in Moshi will give you a chance to purchase unique souvenirs of the Masai tribe, as well as traditional national clothing, bags, wood carvings, baskets, and native paintings. Note: Members of this team should be in good physical health and free of respiratory difficulties.

Hi! This trip looks amazing, i must say. But, my question is whether i would be able to go or not because I turned 18 this past July, but I am a senior in high school still and will graduate the May before the trip starts.

Hi! I was wondering if airfare is included in the cost of this trip (I think it is) and if there would be a possibility for someone going on the trip to purchase their ticket separately with frequent flyer miles (of course coordinating to purchase a ticket for the same flight)? Thank you!

Mary, The round-trip airfare to/from project country is included. Your round-trip transportation to/from Florida is NOT included. No, you cannot purchase your ticket for your project country separately. There are too many “ifs” in that scenario.

I went on the Scotland team last year and I wasn’t sure if I could go to Tanzania since it is a UK commonwealth. And after being deported from Scotland, I wasn’t sure if that would affect my choices for this year.
